Roofing questions, answered
36 straight answers about roofs in Houston: cost, insurance, repairs, storms and more.
Cost and financing
Is the instant quote accurate?
It uses typical 2026 Houston prices. We confirm the exact price after measuring at a free inspection.
What’s the cheapest time to replace a roof?
Late fall and winter often have shorter waits; price changes are small.
Do impact shingles lower insurance?
Many Texas insurers offer a discount for Class 4 shingles; ask your agent for the amount.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We check your rate at the inspection.
Roof replacement
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes take one day, two for large or steep roofs. Rain delays add a day.
Do I need to be home?
No. We text you photos as we go. We do need the garage clear of cars near the drive and pets inside.
Can you go over my old roof?
Texas building code allows a second layer in some cases, but we don’t recommend it: you can’t see or fix the decking, and it shortens the new roof’s life.
Will it be noisy?
Yes, during tear-off. Most people work from a back room or leave for the morning.
How much does a new roof cost in Houston?
Most homes land between $9,000 and $22,000 for architectural shingles. Use the instant quote for your home.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, with monthly payment options. We check your rate at the free inspection.
Leak repair
Can you come today?
For active leaks we tarp the same or next day, then schedule the permanent fix.
Repair or replace?
If the roof is under about 15 years old and the problem is in one spot, a repair is usually enough.
Why does my roof leak only in heavy rain?
Wind-driven rain gets under lifted shingles and failed flashing that light rain never reaches.
Will the patch match?
We match as closely as possible; older shingles fade, so a small color difference can show for a season.
Storm and hail damage
Should I call insurance or a roofer first?
Get a free inspection first so you know if there’s real damage before you file.
Will filing raise my rates?
Weather claims are treated differently from at-fault claims, but ask your agent about your policy.
What if they deny it?
You can ask for a re-inspection; our dated photos help.
How fast should I act?
Right away for leaks; within weeks for everything else so damage is clearly tied to the storm date.
Gutters
Do I need gutter guards?
If you have trees near the house, yes; they pay for themselves in cleanings.
Why 6-inch gutters?
Houston storms dump inches of rain in an hour; 5-inch gutters overflow.
Can you match my trim color?
Yes, from over 20 colors.
Attic ventilation
Does more venting always help?
No. Unbalanced vents can pull rain in. We balance intake and exhaust.
Will it lower my power bill?
A cooler attic means the AC works less; savings depend on your insulation and ducts.
Can you add it without a new roof?
Yes, ridge vents can be cut into most existing shingle roofs.
Insurance claims
Can you negotiate with my insurance company?
No. In Texas only a licensed public adjuster or attorney can negotiate a claim for you. We document damage and explain it to the adjuster.
Is there a deadline?
Many Texas policies require claims within one year of the storm; check yours.
Will my premium go up?
It depends on your insurer and history; ask your agent.
What if I already got a check?
We can build the repair to the approved scope and help with photos for the depreciation release.
Commercial roofing
Coating or replacement?
If the roof is dry underneath (we scan for wet insulation), a coating costs about half of a tear-off.
Can you work while we’re open?
Yes. We stage work around business hours and keep entrances safe.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. Reports are written to forward to owners and boards.
Do you handle emergencies?
24/7 leak response with same-day tarps or patches.
Roof Care Club
Can I cancel?
Monthly plans cancel anytime. Yearly plans are refunded for unused months.
Does it replace insurance?
No. It catches damage early and gives you dated photos if you ever need to file.
What if you find a problem?
You get photos and a price with your 15% member discount. Nothing is done without your OK.
Does it transfer if I sell?
Yes, and buyers like seeing the yearly photo history.
